The line-up will be selected by Bring Me The Horizon themselves, and according to NME, the festival will feature a “retrospective set from the band alongside a host of club nights, pool party takeovers and boat parties.” Presently, other than Bring Me The Horizon, no other acts have been announced thus far.
Frontman Oli Sykes said of the announcement; “We’re buzzing to be hosting a Bring Me The Horizon themed festival in Malta next year, coming up with as much madness as you’d expect from a fully metal, rock festival…“As well as our headline set we’re also going to be doing a special throwback set with some songs we haven’t played for years, and have an insane line up of friends and guests coming out to perform too. It’s basically going to be the greatest weekend ever.” You can read more about the event at this link.
In other news, Bring Me The Horizon have had quite an eventful year thus far, having released a new single and two collaborative songs following their 2020 E.P. POST HUMAN: SURVIVAL HORROR, which was well-received by both fans and critics. One of these collaborative efforts sees the group joining forces with Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello, on a song entitled “Let’s Get The Party Started” a high-energy track that features screamed vocals from singer Oli Sykes and swaggering, blues-tinged riffs that have become a hallmark of Morello’s playing.
In late September, Bring Me The Horizon released the single “DiE4u”, a pop-rock tinged hit that acts as a harbinger of the sound of their next E.P, which will be a continuation of the group’s POST HUMAN project. According to Topshelf Music, the band presently have three more E.Ps planned for the series. Thus far, the POST HUMAN project has seen the band collaborate with several exciting artists, such as Japanese metal band BABYMETAL, Nova Twins, YUNGBLUD and singer Amy Lee of Evanescence fame.
Bring Me The Horizon have recently performed an intimate show at legendary Los Angeles venue Whisky A Go Go, where fellow UK artist YUNGBLUD made an appearance to perform “Obey”, a collaborative single that he and the band released last year. The band also made an appearance at Knotfest, which also took place in Los Angeles.
